Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 173 Another beautiful older sister

The other two of the legendary Sannin are not in Konoha, and seem to have no intention of vying for the Hokage position.

Orochimaru was disliked by the Third Hokage, so wouldn't Danzo have the best chance of taking over?

Kushina Uzumaki's expression was also not very good; she had disliked Danzo for a long time.

After learning about Danzo's actions from Minami Namikaze, Kushina disliked him even more.

If this guy becomes the Fifth Hokage, will he and his mother, who are Jinchūriki, still have a good life?

If this guy really runs for Hokage, she'll definitely vote against him.

Not only would she vote, but she would also call on Minato's supporters to vote against him. That guy must not become Hokage!

"On the surface, Danzo's rise to power seems unstoppable, but in reality, another possibility is more likely."

"What's possible?" Mikoto's eyes lit up.

"Make a comeback and maintain the status quo."

"The Third Hokage isn't that old."

Kushina's eyes lit up upon hearing this; this result seemed acceptable...

The Third Hokage always admired and liked Minato.

As the grand-sister-in-law and grand-son of the Third Hokage, they should be able to live a good life under his wing, right?

Mikoto's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that the result was not bad.

As Orochimaru's apprentice, Gen probably wasn't well-liked by the Third Hokage, but Shisui was Minato's apprentice, so he should have been favored by him, right?

This would give Shisui a chance to become the Fifth Hokage. Itachi could become Shisui's apprentice, and Sasuke could become Kakashi's apprentice when he grows up.

In this way, wouldn't the Uchiha clan's path to becoming Hokage continue?

Go back and mention it to Fugaku. Fugaku will definitely agree, and my father and the two elders will also definitely agree.

Sigh, first Shisui had a great chance, then Gen had a great chance, and finally it came back to Shisui. There were so many twists and turns.

The path to Hokage for the Uchiha clan is incredibly difficult.

Uchiha Gen was unaware of the scheming between the two women.

Even though he knew, Uchiha Gen expressed his understanding, saying that it's perfectly normal for parents to consider their children's needs.

It's perfectly normal to consider one's children, family, and clan; there's nothing shameful about it.

If it were him, he would have taken the same stance.

Losing his status as a Hokage disciple will have some impact on his position within the clan, but not a significant one.

He had long since passed the stage of gaining attention by being a Hokage disciple or a Hokage grand-disciple.

Even if he loses his status as a Hokage disciple or a Hokage grand-disciple, and even if he loses his positions as vice commander and ninth squad leader, he is still a very important figure in the clan!

Within the clan, his influence was second only to the clan leader and the three elders, with only Zhishui barely comparable to him.

In the ninja system outside the clan, the influence of the clan leader and the three elders cannot compare to his; only Shisui can rival him.

Previously, his influence might have been slightly less than that of Shisui, a disciple of the Hokage, but after the trip to Kirigakure, the gap has been closed.

Moreover, Zhishui trusts him and has not changed his ways so far. His influence has reached the point where the clan leader and the three elders have to rely on him.

With his strength, he can live a comfortable life no matter what, the only difference being the degree of comfort.

"Xuan, how long will you be staying this time?"

Mikoto Uchiha is a sensible woman. Her attitude did not change because of Gen Uchiha's somewhat diminished value. She remained smiling, gentle, and approachable.

"I have to leave the day after tomorrow morning."

"I came back this time to celebrate my birthday."

Uchiha Gen casually leaned back in his chair and stretched.

"I remember tomorrow isn't your birthday. Your birthday is August 9th, right?"

As the clan leader's wise and capable wife, Uchiha Mikoto remembers the birthdays of every important person in the clan and sends them a gift on their birthday.

"Thank you so much, Sister Meiqin, for remembering my birthday. We're celebrating early since the holiday is so short."

"If you're free tomorrow night, Mikoto-nee and Lady Kushina can come together."

"I'm planning to invite Kurenai, Anko, Yugao, Shisui, Itachi, it would be even more lively if you could come."

"Life on the battlefield is too monotonous and boring; I want to relax a bit."

Mikoto smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely come."

"Kushina, you should go too."

"Xuan used to work with Minato for quite some time, so he's not an outsider."

"Xuan, stop calling me Madam, just call me Kushina-nee."

Uchiha Gen and Mikoto sincerely invited him, saying that there was nothing else going on the night before.

Kushina wasn't one to hesitate, so she nodded in agreement, "Alright, I'll go join in the fun too."

"Mikoto is right, you can call me Kushina-neechan from now on."

Since Minato's death, Kushina has become increasingly fond of lively atmospheres, and she usually leaves the appliances in her house on before going to bed.

"Great! Who wouldn't be happy to have another beautiful older sister?"

"You're such a chatterbox," Mikoto and Kushina said in unison, laughing and scolding each other.

Just then, Da Zhuzi and Er Zhuzi, missing the taste of breast milk, leaned over one after the other and brought their mouths to Mikoto and Kushina's breasts.

The best time to wean an infant is generally around 18 months, but it can be as short as 1 year or as long as 2 years.

Naruto Uzumaki will be a year old in a little over a month, while Sasuke Uchiha will be a year old in less than half a month. Neither of them has been weaned yet.

Mikoto and Kushina, who had been watching their son closely, blushed slightly upon seeing this and quickly stopped him.

Da Zhu and Er Zhu, who were prevented from eating their main meal, became unhappy and started crying loudly...

"Cough... I'm not full yet, I'm going to go find some more food."

"Remember to be on time tomorrow night, Mikoto and Kushina," Uchiha Gen said tactfully as he got up to take his leave.

Pretending not to see it is pointless.

Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki couldn't possibly breastfeed in front of him, could they?

It's impossible to just use Tianyu to receive orders just to watch breastfeeding, right?

Too extravagant, too despicable, too vulgar.

He's not a bad person, but he's not entirely good; he's not entirely good, but he's not entirely bad either...

Besides, even using Tianyu's orders isn't foolproof. While Mikoto might be able to avoid being affected without any hidden dangers, Kushina's situation is far more complicated.

Kushina has the Nine-Tails inside her, and so does Naruto; they're both watching over her in the sealed space.

Although the Nine-Tails and Kushina are currently at odds, it's not impossible that it might tell Kushina something.

Put yourself in their shoes; Kurama must have been incredibly bored being locked up for so many years, and talking about it would make things funny.

Even if Nine-Tails doesn't say it now and is secretly pleased, it will eventually tell the truth, and then it will be awkward.

Unless the Nine-Tails is in cahoots with him!

And it would also reveal the Mangekyou Sharingan...

If it weren't for Kushina and her son, Uchiha Gen might have been tempted to indulge in a lavish affair in this situation.

Uchiha Gen was an utterly ordinary person, capable of both righteous and evil thoughts.

When faced with evil thoughts, sometimes you can control yourself from carrying them out, and sometimes you can't control yourself from doing so.

The two women breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly agreed to keep their appointment on time.

After Uchiha Gen left, the two women planned to go home to breastfeed, but Da Zhuzi and Er Zhuzi cried and insisted on drinking now.

Mikoto is doing well; she already has a son and is quite resistant to a baby's crying.

Kushina is a different story. Naruto is everything to her right now. While she wouldn't spoil him blindly, she absolutely couldn't bear to see Naruto go hungry...

With no other option, Kushina and Mikoto had to go to a secluded spot in the park to breastfeed, while using shadow clones to keep watch.
